Elsinore High School was founded in 1891, and is one of the oldest schools in Riverside County, California. Located in the town of Wildomar, California, EHS can be seen from the Interstate 15 freeway.
Dr. Jon Hurst was the principal of EHS for over 10 years. However, at the end of the 2015–2016 school year, during the last pep rally of the year, he announced his retirement to the student body and said, "I want to get out of here before I die!" A crown was placed on his head and he led the senior class of 2015–2016 out of the gym.
Robbin Hamilton, formerly an assistant principal at EHS, took Dr. Hurst's place as principal along with Sarah Arredondo
